Description:

Small, conspicuous arboreal warbler with bright yellow underparts, lacking obvious eyering or wingbars shown by similar species. Compared to other warblers by combination of greyish-white supercilium, and grey crown and mantle. Has diffuse pale grey central crown-stripe, and darker lateral crown-stripes.

Distribution:

Possible resident in the lower central parts of Diamer district, near Kohistan and Malakhand. Occurs in montane forests; inhabits both broadleaf and coniferous forest, especially open forest with shrubbery and glades. Optimum zone 1500-2100m.

Behavior:

Forages chiefly in mid-canopy; although forages in low bushes, rarely descends to ground level. Feeds restlessly within outer foliage, frequently flicking wings and flashing tail; gleans items from foliage. Feeds almost entirely on tiny spiders and insects, including small caterpillars; small berries also taken.
